There are times
When a truant boy gets failing marks
Because he is always
Missing the bus.
There are times
When lovers quarrel
Because the other is
Missing the point.
There are times
When a machine malfunctions
Because of some
Missing parts.
There are times
When a revolution fails
Because the leadership is
Missing the target.
But these are the times
When someone so dear is missing
And we are heartbreakingly missing
Our beloved Jonas.
